PUMP..

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 251,523, dated December27, 1881. Application lled October 12, 1881. (No model.)

` To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM L. OHIPLEY, a citizen of the United Statesof America, residing at La Monte, in the county of Pettis and State ofMissouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pumps;and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being hadto the accom panying drawin g, and to letters orgures of referencemarked thereon, which l'orm a part of this specification.

My invention relates to pumps; and it consists of the construction andarrangement of its several parts, as will be hereinafter fully setforth.

The accompanying drawing is a longitudinal section.

A is the pump. It consists of a cylinder, B, provided with a reservoir,O, upon its upper end, and a chamber, D, upon its lower or submergedend, in which is placed a valve and strainer, all being arrangedsubstantially as shown.

The reservoir O, which may be of any desired shape, has its lower endtightly secured around the upperportion ot' the cylinder, which projectsinto it, as shown, for the purpose of relieving the operator of theadditional weight of the water in the reservoir.

Upon the top of the cylinder is an opening, to which is fitted thescrew-cap o. This screwcap is provided with a small central opening anda stuffing-box, c', through which passes the sucker-rod, as shown.

The reservoir has an outlet, d, situated in its upper side, and anoutlet. d', in its lower side. The ends of these outlets have threadsc`ut around them, so that caps may be screwed onto either ot them, asdesired.

E is the sucker-rod. It has upon its lower end the piston b, in whichoperates the valve b. Placed around the rod are the caps n. They areupwardly inclined, their lower ends being secured around the rod andtheir upper and outer ends fitting snugly the sides of the cylinders.They have suitableperforations, a', through which the liquid may readilypass when the pump is in operation.

Motion is transmitted to the rod by any of tion ot' the actuating-levereasier, and in the downstroke of the piston b, they being provided withoutlets allow the liquidsto pass through them rapidly.

By the employment of the reservoir-outlets d d the pump can be madeeither a lifting or a force pump.

The cap can be secured onto the nozzle d', and a hose or pipe can beattached to the nozzle d. The pump can then be putin operation. The airremaining in the cylinder above the outlet of the nozzle will constitutethe airchamber, and the Water can be forced through the hose or pipewith a rapidity in proportion to the strength applied to theactuating-lever; or the liquid can be forced out of the nozzle d withthe same rapidity by closing the opening of the nozzle d.

This pump is especially adapted for use in bored wells, whereit isdesired to secure a rapid and continuous flow of water through acylinder of small diametel;

What I Claim isl. The funnel-shaped reservoir U, with its lower endtightly secured around D116 cylinder B, and provided with an opening, d,in its upper side and an opening, d', in its lower side, said reservoirheing arranged to operate in combination with the sucker-rod E, itspiston b, valve b', and its actuating mechanism.

2. In a lifting and force pump, the combination of the cylinder B, withvalve and strainer situated in its lower end, and reservoir C, having auopening iu its top, and provided with outlets d and d', with thesucker-rod E, cups a, piston I), and valve b', and its actuatingmechanism, all arranged and operating substantially as shown.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM LEE OHIPLEY.
